I've in fact seen more contribution to the Drupal project at large from 
Jason than from you, Gregory.

Does anybody else find it a bit strange that all of a sudden people who 
haven't been active in the Drupal community want to be the cheerleaders 
of Drupal enterprises and define who is allowed to join their ranks?

I've found it quite helpful to team up with other Drupal freelancers to 
achieve common goals (like a contract which wouldn't go to a single 
consultant).

Anyway, I am not interested in that call. I am not a talk-talk type and 
my timezone is too far off.
